Making The Spring Clean EASY!!

The BIG spring clean continues at our house. We surround ourselves with keepsakes, the kid's artworks, family photos, much loved vintage pieces, books, collected shells and things that mean something to us. But then there is just "stuff" that begins to take over. I think most of you know the kinda "stuff" I'm speaking of that builds up over time. So in my feisty spring clean mode, we are donating this "stuff" to our local charity shop who are always on the lookout for more items.

If your home is being taken over by this "stuff" but the task seems daunting, it needn't be. You don't need to tackle it all in one go, and in fact don't! Each day grab a carton and dedicate 10minutes to cleaning out a cupboard, shelf, corner of the house and this way it becomes an achievable goal. As I fill a box I deliver it to the charity shop on our way to work etc and it soon becomes someone else's treasure.

I'm in the middle of a declutter at my house too. Can't believe how much stuff accumulates that we just don't need. Good luck, it is a great feeling when you finish a room and things look neat and tidy for a minute! xToni
